for you pt.2

● poem ♢

Your laughter, oh so pure,

capturing my attention with every syllable,

Your eyes, hooded,

yet more beautiful than even the brightest gemstone in the universe,

Your hands gentle, bringing life to colour and words

when you touch a page with a pen,

Your voice smooth,

Charming and entrancing me,

Your heart joyful, always full of cheer and love,

just not for me.

If I dared to speak the words

Would you accept them?

If I dared to say hello

Would you return the gesture?

If I dared to reach out and stroke your hair with my fingers

Would you pull away or lean closer?

If I dared to put my arms around your neck

Would you let me pull you even closer, bury my head in your neck?

If I dared to press a kiss to your cheek

Would you smile sweetly or would you stare at me with shock?

I wonder what it would be like if things were different -

If you reciprocated my feelings,

If you knew how I felt and felt the same.

It we shared the same love

And couldn't wait to see the other's face each day.

If we were so much closer than friends

And dared to kiss each other goodbye.

Would I be happier?

Would we be happier?

Maybe I wouldn't have to suffer the ache of my heart everyday

Crying for you to notice me.

Maybe I wouldn't frown as much

Thinking about how I failed once again to let you know how much I love you.

Maybe I wouldn't have tears on my cheeks

As I think about you and how I've been longing for you.

And I realised

It was only after I began loving you

That all those songs began to relate to me.

Their words and meanings -

Every single one seemed to understand just how my heart yearned for you,

How much you meant to me.

Do you know?

It's the thought of you that spurs me on to do my best.

It's the thought of you that makes me want to work harder so you can look at me and smile -

even though you admittedly might not even see it at all.

And I used to dread going to school

But now I don't,

Because everyday I look forward to seeing you again.

It's a blessing and a curse -

Sweet as passion, yet as painful as a crack in a heart.

But I'll hold back the tumultuous current

and focus on how much you make me smile.

I find the best stories I've ever heard

are usually around you.

And I think that's rather beautiful.
